One of the aims of our new staff magazine move is to keep you informed about the most important developments within the ElringKlinger Group. Almost half of the Group’s revenue is now generated by our global subsidiaries and affiliated companies. For the first time, the number of employees at these companies now exceeds the figure for Germany, so we believe it makes sense to publish the new magazine in two languages, German and English. We hope you enjoy reading it! At this point, let me say a few words about the Group’s performance. As the global economy began to recover quickly over the last year, ElringKlinger was able to establish a solid market position. In the crisis year 2009, we had to cope with a major fall in revenue of around EUR 80 million to EUR 579 million. The fact that we were able to do so is due to your dedication. Considering the severity of the global economic crisis, our Group earnings for 2009 were satisfactory. In fiscal 2010, we anticipate an encouraging level of growth, thanks above all to the rapid surge in demand for motor vehicles in Asia and the United States. Consolidated revenue is expected to reach between EUR 745 million and EUR 755 million. Earnings before interest and taxes should be in the range of EUR 105 million to EUR 110 million. Although this does not yet amount to a restoration of our pre-crisis earnings performance, we are in an extremely good position compared at an international level to other vehicle manufacturers. We can look to the future with great confidence. Our forecasts anticipate very encouraging growth with regard to Group revenue and earnings in the next few years. Among the most important targets of our customers in the automobile industry are cuts in fuel consumption and emissions. In recent years, thanks to innovative technologies, we have established a strong profile in these particular areas. As well as our contributions in the field of sustainability, we have made significant progress in the development of alternative drive concepts. We are pointing the way with innovative solutions in the area of fuel cell technology and above all with our new products for lithium-ion batteries, which include module connectors and cell contact systems. Our success is not limited to the automobile industry. Our technologically advanced PTFE (Teflon ® ) solutions are already in use in other important sectors such as medical, laboratory and food technology as well as mechanical and appliance engineering. In the next five to seven years, we aim to generate between 20 and 25 per cent of the Group’s revenue outside the automotive industry. We can only achieve all this with good and highly motivated employees. On behalf of the entire Management Board, I would like to thank you for your tremendous efforts over the last year and offer a special welcome to our new colleagues from Gelting, Nantiat, Chamborêt and Turin, who will be joining the ElringKlinger Group in January. We wish you all the best for a joyful holiday season and a Happy New Year – one in which we can all share in the success that lies ahead. GROUP 3
